Crappie fishing is like dealing with any other wildlife. What WE think they should be thinking isn't always what THEY are thinking.

I went deer hunting back in early December and saw no deer, but the squirrels were all over the place. So I went back the next day with my shotgun and not a squirrel to be found, but I kept seeing deer during my walk through the woods. Typical.

Pretty days when you just know the fish are gonna be eating it up are when you usually strike out. Those days like "oh they probably won't bite, but I'm going anyway" is when you hit em hard.

Good luck to you. If you ever figure them out (or women either for that matter), let us all know.
